When tectonic plates move away from each other (a process known as divergent boundaries) a few different effects can occur. One effect of divergent boundaries is the creation of rifts, which are deep valleys in the Earth's crust. ... Sometimes, they cause magma from the Earth's core to rise up.

Plate tectonics form the oceans, continents, and mountains. It also helps us understand why and where events like earthquakes occur and volcanoes erupt.
